Yeah, but Vahran V types, (the famous Bahram Gur), are very close to early Peroz types. So its a fine point. I assumed Peroz since they are 20...
Lots of people like to sell nefarious "proto-currency". I never buy anything unless its well documented. Chinese "things" are also sold many times...
#3 and #5 are Ardashir, the founder of the Sassanid dynasty. #4 I believe is Peroz. I would agree with the others that the Ardashir coins are cast...
I agree the guy is completely full of himself. There ARE high quality fakes, but his notes are crap. I saw immediately just from the portrait his...
Is it just me, or does this also strike anyone else as looking similar to Sabean/Himyarite? It could be just the nature of derivative coins. If...
"Back in the day" such a miscut would actually lower the value. Notes used to be graded based upon margins, with equal margins being the most...
I agree it looks like a local copy. They even tried to copy the dimple Ptolemaic coins used, but the dimple on this one is not correct either.
Mean and average are very different, as are mean incomes and household incomes. I thought US mean household incomes was around the forties, but I...
For the low level of a living standard, that might be true. For all of those who look fondly at such "good old days", spend some time looking at...
So does that prove paper money is just as usable as pm? If they pay you the same value today as "the time they used real money", (whatever the...
Btw, sorry about calling you a kid. No offense meant. From your post I was just guessing you might be around twenty, but even then I shouldn't...
OP, no offense, but you are going to get scammed. I hate saying that, I hate the world is that way today, but it is. If you continue to buy things...
I would ask the seller for an attribution if its a real coin. If the seller feels its real, then maybe they know who issued it, when, etc.
I remember from 20 years ago there is a wreath cent either 68 or 69. The chain in the collection got all of the attention, but the wreath was...
If it did, just list it on Ebay for five times its vale and buy another one. :)
They should be theoretical, with no coins graded that high. What do you call a coin better than a 70? Awarding any coin a 70 pretty much destroys...
I have coins with swastikas from ancient India, Siam, Burma, and central asia. It was an extremely prevalent symbol up until the muslim conquests...
Nice. Surprised to see that from Coinflation, they are usually cheerleaders of these writers. I wrote a comment to the article posted yesterday...
I still say button. The reverse is what I am focusing on. OP, does the raised triangle portion have a hole in it that is not visible from this...
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call KNOWLEDGE.
